On **June 13, 2025**, Israel launched **Operation Rising Lion**, deploying around **200 aircraft and Mossad assets** to strike approximately **100 targets** across Iran—nuclear facilities (including Natanz), missile infrastructure, command centers, and residences of high-ranking military leaders. Among those killed were IRGC Commander **Hossein Salami**, Chief of Staff **Mohammad Bagheri**, and several top nuclear scientists ([theguardian.com][1]). In retaliation, Iran dispatched over **100 drones** toward Israel, all intercepted before crossing its border ([apnews.com][2]). Supreme Leader **Ayatollah Khamenei** called Israel’s attack a “declaration of war” and vowed a “severe, bitter” response . The escalation is prompting global calls for restraint and raising fears of broader regional conflict.
